The Art of Entanglement: Fish, Flow, and Knowing

Dive into a creative world where fish, water, and story are teachers. Building on the energy and excitement of last year’s “Fish as Storytellers”, this year’s program dives further into themes of entanglement, reciprocity, and relational ways of knowing. 

Through art-making, storytelling, and land-based reflection, we’ll explore how knowledge moves in quiet and unexpected ways—appearing in the gestures of water, the memory held in natural materials, and the relationships we build with one another. This experience is ideal for anyone curious about environmental storytelling, interdisciplinary practice, or creative approaches to sense-making.

Move through an intuitive and sensory-based process, designed to help you reconnect with subtle forms of knowing that live within you. Experiment with emergent, relational approaches to creativity, treating story, material, and movement as pathways to new insight.

Explore how creativity can deepen your connection to place and community, offering fresh ways of engaging with the natural world and the narratives that shape it. 

Together, we’ll follow the metaphors of flow and movement to notice how stories travel between bodies, waters, and communities—and how art-making can become a site of connection, curiosity, and transformation.

Whether you are joining us for the first time or returning to explore more deeply, this workshop offers a vibrant space where creativity, land, and collective meaning-making come alive.
